Connectors are usually built so there is a small amount of "wiping" as they seat, which will scrape off oxides or dirt. They will also have just the right amount pressure to balance longevity versus contact resistance. The pockit connectors may not balance these factors well (depends on what's making contact from the modules - I couldn't find the details readily). Regardless they won't have wiping, which isn't mandatory but is the cheapest way to keep connections reliable.

So likely they won't have nearly the cycle life of USB-C but do they really need to?

If wiping is the main problem you could just wipe them with a cloth or some other device. They are exposed and highly visible after all.
